CRIME IN IRELAND.
The Vote for the Expenses ofProsecu-
ton Passes the Commons

bIOn VIC COMMUNE
LONDON, Sept 2.--Joseph Richard Cox,
member of Parliament tor East Clare,
writes to the papers that he win address
his constituents at Ballycoree Sunday, not
withstanding the fact that the government
has proclaimed the meeting.
The votes of money for the Irish govern
ment are still under debate in the House of
Commons. This evening the ParnelliteS
discussed the administration of the law in
Ireland until Mr. Smith, the government
leader, appealed to the chairman to stop the
debate. The chairman replied that he had
no power to do so He could only appeal
to the members themselves. This was re-
ceived with loud cheers by the Parnelites.
Mr.. Tr.ite tainted Mr.. Smith upon his
inability to apply cloture, and sand he
would have to bring his 200 members to
London.
After six and half hours of discussion
the vote for the expenses of criminal prose
cution in Ireland was passed. In the debate
on the vote for land law expenses, Mr.. Bal
four declared that sub-commisSioners had
been appointed partly on religious grounds.
This and other notes were finally adopted.
The Parnellites intend to keep up the de-
bate until they have the result Of the Ennis
meeting.
1t is rumored that the Dublin meetings
venue will be changed, in which case the
officials will not interfere except to note in
Cendiary speeches.

A CRY FOR a SCALP.
The Democratic Central Committee
Asks a Fostraa5tors dismissal.

ASKS EostEaa5ter's Dismissal
CHICAGO, Sept. 2.-Aftera lively meet
ing behind closed doors, the Democratic
State Central Committee to-day, by vote
of Is TO 10, adopted "A resolution requesting
the Federal authorities to investigate the
alleged connection Of well known
Democratic editor and postmaster, H. w.
Clendennin, of Springfield, with the cor
rupt legislative printing combine" and if
since the State Senate report on the subject
he has upheld the combine he be inlme-
dlateiy dismissed from Office as unfit for
any position of honor, trust or profit under
the present national administration.
GOV. OGLEsBY ALSO DENOUNCED.
Tie resolution likewise severely de
nounced the alleged connection with the
combine of Gov. 0glesby and other Repub-
llcan State afficers who are supposed TO be
seeking denomination.
A substitute resolution declaring that APP
pointments and removals of Federal officers
should not be usurped or interfered with by
political committees was lost by a vote 14fo
to-
Before either resolution was put to a vote
a letter of protest against the action taken
was read from ex-Gov, John NJ. Palmer, and
also letter from Postmaster Clendennin,
calling attention to the fact that the Sen
ate Investigating Committee had exoner-
ated him. Mr. Clendennin denied the juris-
diction of the State Central Committee over
his case, and invited the complain
ants against him to present their
charges to the Post Office Department at
Washington, where they would be met and
refuted.
1he reason for desiring Mr. Clendennin's
distsSal is stated by the promoters of the
resoluc>on to be that only in case he is de-
posed by President Cleveland can the Dem
ocratic party in Illinois effectively use the
State Printing steal against the Republican
office holders.

BRADY'S BILL STILL UP.
MORE SPEECHES MADE WITHOUT
REACHING A VOTE.

Senator Butt Favors It's Passages
Senator Davis Shows How 1t is Ininas
ical to the Interests of the Planters
Senator Roberts Attacks it's Lee
gality.
ATLANTA, GA, Sept. Tho Senate NET
at the usual hour to-day. Consideration OF
the Brady bill was resumed. Senator Butt
took the floor and made an able argument
in favor of the bill contending that ths
farmers were now ut the mercy Of tho
guano manufacturers and had no remedy
They are not allowed to come into court
and prove that the fertilizer sold them was
not reasonably suited for the purpose ia
which it was intended. The only remedy
the purchaser Of guano now
has is to have sample Of thu
guano drawn after purchase and
sent to the Agricultural Department for an.
other analysis, and he asserted that the de-
partlnent did not have time 70 attend To
this second analysis
Senator Davis, of the Thirty-first Dis.
trict, replied and argued strongly against
the bill. He said Mr.. Butts speech was q
TRADE against the efficiency of the Agricul.
tural Department and did not apply TO tia
merits of the measure under console
Grafton. He said the present system ws,s
working well and was giving satisfaction ,aid
plan, and feasible one, was in practice
by which a farmer can test the value OF
gIano, and ii not good he need not pay for
It. He pronounced the bill under considera-
ton as the most iniquitous bill he ever knew
anything about, so far as the poor man is
concerned. IL discriminates against the
poor man. II the bill becomes a law. notes
given by the small farmers will be worthless
for negotiability, and consequently the mer-
chants will not want them, and the farmers
cannot buy guano except for cash.
DECLARED ILLEGAL.
Mr.. Roberts, of the Fourteenth district,
opposed the bill, and made an argument on
the legality of the bill, contending that it
was illegal because IL disseminated in favor
of one class and against another. The real
edy suggested by this bill is not the prapec
remedy. II the guano sold is not suited for
the purpose for which it was intended, tas
remedy is in his hands. He can have tina
analysis made, and if the gilano is not good
its value can be shown by the analysis.
There was lively fillibustering on the
question of adjournment. Some Of tins
Senators wanted the usual adjournment to
Monday, but it was resisted and motions
and calls for the yeas and nays consumed
the time until the President announced that
the regular hour of adjournment had
arrived.
